I know, super early, or super late, however you wanna look at it. But I just got this brilliant idea for my cosplay at EPAC 09. Instead of doing a full gundam cosplay, I thought it would be neat to do the support unit from Gundam Seed, the METEOR Unit. In case some of you don't know what I mean, I mean this number:

Now, I'm not planning on doing the Justice or Freedom Gundam, nor do I know anyone that will be doing either of those cosplays. But would cosplaying something as that just have as much of a effect on people as a full blown gundam cosplay would?
